Ergonomics consultation

Our ergonomics consultants help employers reduce the potential for sprains and strains, cumulative trauma disorders and other work-related musculoskeletal disorders.

BWC's ergonomics consultants provide services that help employers reduce the potential for strains and sprains due to lifting, pushing, pulling and carrying tasks; cumulative trauma disorders due to repetitive, hand-intensive work and awkward work postures; and other work-related musculoskeletal disorders. In addition to making jobs safer and less physically stressful, ergonomic improvements often help to boost productivity, quality and job satisfaction.

Safety management assessments – We can review safety management documentation and practices and provide tools, resources and advice on how to develop or enhance your systems and strategies for managing safety and ergonomics.

Project facilitation – We can facilitate team meetings to help you implement ergonomic improvement projects.

On-site training - We can help you develop training and awareness programs tailored to your specific operations and needs.

Process development- We can facilitate meetings or help you develop a written ergonomics process.

Return-to-work consultations – We can help you identify ergonomic modifications that may facilitate a successful return-to-work for an injured worker.
